Any mother to a newborn can understand the need to get a
little bit of alone time during those intense first few months, and even years
after the birth of a child. Abbie
Gellman can attest to needing some quiet time herself and, for her, that came
in the form of picking up running right after the birth of her daughter. In addition to the quiet time running
provided Abbie, she also hoped that time would pull double-duty and serve to
lose some baby weight. Ten years later,
Abbie continues to run, though her motivation has changed a bit. One of her main motivators for running these
days is the chance to reconnect with a dear friend on her runs. Other runners can certainly appreciate the
need for an accountability partner when it comes to maintaining consistency. It certainly makes any run more enjoyable!
